Adella’s POV

I did not remember how I managed to walk out of the field without collapsing right there in front of everyone because the moment I turned my back on them it felt like something inside my chest had cracked open, and the sound of my own heartbeat became louder than the murmurs that followed behind me as I kept moving forward without daring to look back.

My steps were uneven, though I forced them to remain steady as I walked through the palace grounds, my hands clenched at my sides wh

  • The Rejected Lycan Heiress: He rejected her, she claimed his   Chapter Thirty One

    Alder's POV I remained seated on the ground long after Adella walked away, my palms pressed against the earth behind me as though I needed something solid to hold onto, because everything inside me felt like it was slipping out of control in a way I could not contain, and no matter how many times I replayed the moment in my head, no matter how many times I tried to make sense of it, the outcome remained the same.A bitter breath left my lips as I dragged a hand through my hair, my gaze fixed on the empty path she had taken, as though I could still see her there, still hear her voice echoing in my head, still feel the sting of her hand against my face, and yet none of that compared to the weight of her words.You are not worthy to breathe the same air as me.The words settled deep, heavier than anything else she had said, and I could not shake them off no matter how hard I tried.“You look exactly like what I warned you about.”The voice came again.I closed my eyes briefly, my jaw ti

  • The Rejected Lycan Heiress: He rejected her, she claimed his   Chapter Thirty

    Adella's POV I followed him without thinking, my fingers wrapping around his hand the moment I caught up to him, my grip tightening as though I was afraid he would disappear again if I let go, and my breath came out unevenly as I looked at him, my eyes searching his face for something, anything that would explain why he had left without a word.“Why did you not tell me?” I asked, my voice not as steady as I wanted it to be, my brows pulling together slightly as I held onto him. “You were leaving and you said nothing to me, not even a word, not even a warning, did you think I would not notice your absence?”Sigil looked at me.Then at our hands.Then back at my face.Slowly, he removed his hand from mine, his fingers slipping away in a way that made something in my chest drop, and I felt the loss of contact immediately, even though it should not have mattered as much as it did.“My lady,” he said quietly, his tone controlled, his posture straightening slightly as he took a step back,

  • The Rejected Lycan Heiress: He rejected her, she claimed his   Chapter Twenty Nine

    Alder's POV I did not hear the rest of the words spoken on that stage because the moment the veil slipped from her face and revealed features I had buried deep in memory, it felt as though something inside me snapped without warning, my breath catching in a way that made my chest tighten painfully as my eyes fixed on her, refusing to move away even when I knew people were watching, even when I knew I should compose myself as an Alpha standing among other leaders.Adella.The name echoed in my mind so loudly that it drowned out every other sound in the hall, and for a brief moment I questioned my own sanity, because how could she be standing there, how could she be alive when I had convinced myself that she was gone, and how could she look so composed, so untouchable, as though nothing had ever happened?I stood up so abruptly that the chair behind me scraped harshly against the ground, the sound cutting through the murmurs around us, but I did not care, because my entire focus had na

  • The Rejected Lycan Heiress: He rejected her, she claimed his   Chapter Twenty Eight

    James’s POVI was still angry when I stepped away from the car, the sound of that slap echoing in my head in a way that made my jaw tighten every time I thought about it, and I did not bother looking back, because I knew if I did, I might say something I would not take back, something that would only make things worse.My steps were fast.Each one carrying the frustration I was trying to hold in.One of the guards saw me approaching and straightened immediately.“Beta James,” he greeted.I barely looked at him.“Move,” I said.He stepped aside without another word.I reached the delegation car and pulled the door open before getting in, my movements rougher than usual as I sat down, my hand running through my hair as I exhaled slowly, trying to calm myself, but it did not work.Not even a little.The guards exchanged glances.“Is everything alright?” one of them asked cautiously.I let out a short, humorless laugh.“Does it look like everything is alright?” I asked.He hesitated.“I d

  • The Rejected Lycan Heiress: He rejected her, she claimed his   Chapter Twenty Seven

    Adella's POV I stood still while the maids circled around me, their hands moving with careful precision as they adjusted the gown against my body, smoothing the fabric over my shoulders and down my waist as though they were afraid a single crease would ruin everything, and I kept my gaze fixed on my reflection even though I barely recognized the person staring back at me.“My lady, lift your chin a little,” one of them said softly, her fingers hovering near my jaw without touching.I obeyed slowly, raising my chin as instructed while another maid stepped closer, adjusting the silk that would soon cover the lower half of my face, her brows drawn in concentration as she made sure it sat perfectly.“Is it too tight?” she asked, her voice careful, almost hesitant.I shook my head lightly.“No, it is fine,” I replied, though my voice felt distant even to my own ears.Another maid moved behind me, her hands brushing through my hair, arranging it so it fell neatly over my shoulders before s

  • The Rejected Lycan Heiress: He rejected her, she claimed his   Chapter Twenty Six

    Alder's POV I stood in front of the mirror, my fingers adjusting the collar of my shirt as my gaze lingered on my reflection longer than necessary, not because I was concerned about how I looked, but because there was a weight sitting on my shoulders that I could not quite shake off, and no matter how much I told myself this was just another duty, just another appearance, it did not feel that simple.Behind me, I could hear movement.I did not turn immediately.“You are still not ready?” Lilian’s voice came from behind me, carrying a hint of impatience.I exhaled quietly before speaking.“I am ready,” I replied.She stepped closer, her reflection appearing beside mine in the mirror as she tilted her head slightly, her eyes scanning my outfit with a critical gaze that I did not bother to acknowledge.“You call this ready?” she asked.I glanced at her briefly.“Yes,” I said.She frowned slightly.“You are not even trying,” she said.I turned to face her fully now, my expression neutral

    I closed my eyes for a moment because the anger inside my chest was starting to feel like something alive and breathing, something warm and suffocating that pressed against my ribs whenever I thought about the way Brooke spoke to me as if I were some broken thing he could kick aside whenever it ple
